Having restored a number of V4s I can really appreciate Tom's work. His bikes make mine look like I just took a pressure washer to them and called them restored. Tom goes all the way with his projects. I love seeing his work.

Great choice Michael, Tom is very deserving to have his work featured in this forum.

Gorgeous bikes! Excellent choice!

She looks great!

Great pick, Michael.

He has made some of the coolest bikes on the planet even cooler.  And I agree that these are excellent all arounders. I rode one a couple of times and wasn't overly impressed until I rode Brads (now in Michaels garage) from an SGT.  After 500 or 600 miles I really started enjoying it.

Congrats, Tom.

This months winning bike was one I wanted for a long time. More for its stunning good looks than its cutting edge tech for its time.

I finally managed to buy one, then another.

About 10 years ago, I rode one of them from Maine to California and back. It was one of the best things I have ever done on two wheels.
These bikes are surprisingly good all rounders. Well at least according to me. 😁😁

So congratulations VF1000RS (Tom) your 86 VF1000R is Jan. 2025's BOTM. I have to say I don't know anyone who  does these bikes better justice when restoring them. For those of you who may not know one of Tom's VF1000f's was featured in Practical Sportbikes, a UK bike magazine.

Great bike. Although I am not into racing, this would be more than nice to have. Very good job.

Ditto, Stretch. I really enjoyed my VF1000F too (both of them). I actually liked it more than the VF1000R. Great choice Michael.

Beautiful F!! Great choice!!

Very Nice!

I had one and they are a lot of fun.

These were always such great looking machines.

Congrats, bear!
